When Korihor enters the room
"Korihor, are you all right? You gave us -me quite a fright when you ran away last night"
Looking at the goblin tunic on Korhior:
"but I see DAxur managed to take care of you. It is good to see you back so full of energy"
"Anyway, visiting the orphanage & finding the kids are the first things on my to do list as well. The Last Laugh will probably try to stop us, so we better be prepared for that - but they will learn I smack heads as well as backsides..."
"I'm fine" she says, looking fastidiously at the table of food, but touching nothing. She itches her tunic.
"Well, then. Shall we?"
Lumen quickly devours some of the food put before her the stands, cracking her neck as Korihor mentions violence.
"We shall."
Daxur places some cheese between some slices of bread and eats, drinking down some water as he does so. When finished, he places some more bread and cheese in the centre of a handkerchief , wraps it into a bundle and places it into his pack "For later" he says to himself, glancing at Korihor.
Looking around, seeing everyone else in readiness says "Let's be off then!"
As you exit the temple poeple go to and fro preparing for the morning services,a girl about six years old walks up to you all and says:
(1.#3,2.Lumen,3.Daxur.4.Korihor,5.Beaurgard,6.Zeven)
(random selection for the girl is asking for)
I am looking for (# roll) this is for you.
the girl raises her hands with a small package
As everyone exits, Korihor stands fast in the room for a few beats. She seems to be looking at the wall. She then joins everyone else.
Korihor wipes her eyes before leaving the room.
Spot
As the group leaves, Lumen's gaze lingers on Korihor a few moments more, her expression throughtful, before stepping forwards as if to usher everyone forward.

what are you spotting for?
** spoiler omitted **
ok got it {thinking that way}
Everyone spot checks please.
Korihor catches up once she has changed.
spot
Daxur catches Lumen's gaze stopping on Korihor's seemingly stoic figure , then upon Korihor herself and stops himself from returning, respecting her moment of privacy.
** spoiler omitted **
What are you doing with the package the child is handing you?
Korihor starts as the child hands her the package and then runs off. Her gaze follows the bouncing hair of the child as she disappears into the croud.
"Looks like I have a secret admirer." she says, stepping back inside the temple's room they just vacated for a moment to open the package.
As you open the package you see a clock made of enameled densewod with brass facing of a jester laughing, as the cockoo door opens and a jester wearing wizard robes,points at you.
** spoiler omitted **
no need
Korihor: you feel a wave of enegry and your bones fell strange,but as the sensation suddenly vanishes. then laughter echoes from the clock ha,ha,ha.ha,ha,
Beauregard's reserve seems to be returning, as his expression becomes more & more guarded with each passing moment. When the child gives the parcel to Korihor he calls out, too late to stop her, "Wait!" Only managing to finish, Let me or Daxur check it first..." as the dweomer is already taking effect.
everyone that rolls high than 8 will notice Korihor's fear and that tears have been shed
you can roll the sense motive to get a more empathic sense of Korihor
Korihor, are you all right? Daxur asks.
"Of course I am." she says, matter-of-factly. "Are you?"
"So the clock only laughed at you, it did nothing else?" Daxur says
1d20+8
strange to you but, you have seen this type of spell before during the war her bones were being affected by the spell to break and shatter them
"Of course I am." she says, matter-of-factly. "Are you?"
what is Korihor doing after the clock releases its surprise
Korihor shakes her head. "This pathetic attempt to intimidate us just means we're on the right track." She tosses the item to Lumen. "Let's get out of here."
"Improvised weaponry. Child delivery system. Lack of clearly defined soldiers. This appears to be an asymmetrical assault, cleverly designed, and intelligently employed."
Engineer ticks off points on his large metal hands as he makes them.
"I would expect to see this level of resistance from an occupied city, not one like Cauldron."
"I would expect to see this level of resistance when there is a pile of platinum dragons involved. Lots and lots of money." Korihor exits the temple again. "Perhaps the Houses are involved, and these birthmarks are Dragonmarks."
"What does that make me? The Mole, or the Patsey?"
Korihor looks at Beauregard her eyebrow raised. "The mole? The mole of what?"
Spot
Spell craft.
Beauregard matches Korihor eyebrow for eybrow, "In case you didn't recall, my is Beauregard ." Pointing to the Jorasko Badge on his doublet, "I'm the . So by argument, I'm either of what is transpiring, I'm being played by my own !"
"Of course I am." she says, matter-of-factly. "Are you?"
I am indeed, I asked as that burst of magic was corrupted with necromantic energy. I am glad you did not suffer any ill effects.
"Hmm." she says, regarding both Daxur and Beauregard. "You two are remarkably short." she sighs. A smile twitches at the corner of her mouth. "I hope you'll teach me more of recognizing these...branches...of magic..." she trails off, momentarily lost in thought. Her eyes snap back into focus, and she picks up her pace again. "Not necessarily your own House, Beauregard. But perhaps one of the others. That is, of course, assuming Marks are involved at all." she says, adjusting the tunic she wears higher on her torso.
While Zevon is thinking about the best way to go to the orphanage, he doesn't pay much attention to the little girl.
When the nature of the attack becomes clear, he says "I knew we should be prepared for the LAst Laughs revenge, but that it should come so quickly... Stupid of me for not paying attention! Luckily no one got hurt. An attack in this form: they act like they own the place and fear no law! It makes you wonder how far they really are infiltrated in Cauldron"
Giving Korihor a curious look, Daxur turns to Zevon. I do not think any of us thought to suspect an attack would come so quickly and in such a form. These Last Laughers and whomever guides their activities obviously have no qualms in how the conduct their business. " he says.
you just see Korihor disstressed
as for the houses Cauldron s too close to the Black pit known for its thugs and thieves and out of the way for most of the houses to have an outpost except for Beaurgard's house of healing
Sir Jaren asks: What is going on here! I was told that an attack happened.
KORIHOR what thoughts do you have?
As everyone heads to orphanage the daily hustle seems busier than normal.
give me two spot checks
spot check #1
spot check #2
